Just when you were starting to sober up after The Hangover… along comes The Hangover Part II--a deft dose of hair of the dog that will keep fans of the original screaming with laughter once again. Director Todd Phillips brings back his great cast--Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha, and Ed Helms for another splendid exercise in debauchery--and its painful aftermath. And perhaps surprisingly, The Hangover Part II keeps the laugh levels high. While the element of surprise is not here in the sequel, writer Craig Mazin, Scot Armstrong, and Phillips have upped the shock factor, resulting in humor that's sometimes not exactly politically correct, but is fall-down funny anyway. In The Hangover Part II, Stu (Helms) is marrying a Thai-American woman (Jamie Chung), and the entire wedding party is flying to Thailand for the ceremony. Quicker than you can say "bachelor brunch," the boys are off on some kind of mystery adventure that results in some pretty serious, and pretty hilarious repercussions. (There's an unfortunate tattoo incident, one not easily covered up; there's an unexplained monkey--in a Rolling Stones shirt--now added to the entourage; and one of the group is missing.) The setup is familiar, but the ensemble of actors is so confident, their chemistry so easy, that the viewer enjoys their long, strange trip with bust-out-loud laughs. And you can't ask for much more in a buddy comedy. --A.T. Hurley
Product Description
Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), Alan (Zach Galifi anakis) and Doug (Justin Bartha) travel to exotic Thailand for Stu's wedding. What could go wrong? Director Todd Phillips' explosively funny follow-up to his award-winning smash hit demonstrates that though what happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, what happens in Bangkok can hardly be imagined!

If you liked the first one, then you will probably like this sequel. Same premise, same type of humor, and same wackiness.
One of the funnier movies this year.
LOL - I find it funny that all these reviewers are giving it 1 star because they are getting the UV Digital Copy along with the Blu Ray or DVD. That is really skewing the reviews for this. Doesn't make sense to me. Are you reviewing the movie, the Blu Ray, or just the UV digital copy? If "just the UV", are you giving the entire product package a fair review? Matter of fact, have most of you one-star reviewers even seen the movie? You definitely haven't seen the blu ray since most of your reviews are dated before the release.
Anyways, please ignore all the 1 star reviews related to the UV copy. IMO, these reviewers are not using the rating system appropriately. I understand they want to make a statement because they dislike the UV copies.

Todd Phillips' 2009 comic masterpiece, "The Hangover," resurrected the raunchy comedy with its brilliantly demented "lost weekend" in Vegas. Despite the top-notch work of the ensemble cast, Zach Galifianakis stole the show more completely than any actor since we walked away from "High Fidelity" raving about Jack Black.
Even before the release of "The Hangover," which made a bazillion dollars at the box office, a sequel was in the works. The great news is that almost the entire gang is back from Vegas and now heads to Bangkok in the sequel, "The Hangover Part II." Doug (Justin Bartha) is comfortably married and Stu (Ed Helms) is taking the plunge with Lauren (Jamie Chung), whose family still lives in Thailand. Stu wants nothing more than a quiet wedding, and he wisely spends his bachelor party at brunch. Unfortunately, Stu brings Alan (Galifianakis) along for the wedding, against his better instincts. With Alan in tow, one should expect accidental mayhem to follow, and it does.
In spades.
Once again the boys find themselves awakening with blinding hangovers, blank memories, and a missing friend. Once again, they spend the movie resurrecting what went on the night before, and each discovered secret is more deranged than the one before. Dead bodies. Severed fingers. Toking monkeys. Enraged Buddhist monks. The list goes on and on, and the laughs do indeed pile up.
And yet, one cannot escape the fact that the entire movie is a slightly less funny retread of the original. From the narrative structure (both films start with a phone call to a distressed significant other) to the craziness to the jokes, we've heard this song before. Despite the great comic performances -- Galifianakis alone is worth the rental fee -- and clever use of the Bangkok reputation for depravity, the latest "Hangover" is as original and inspiring as its title.
Here's hoping that the upcoming "Hangover Part III" takes the boys on an entirely new journey to the wild side.

Would Have Been A Better Action Movie Than Comedy If The Ending Wasn't So Terrible
November 2, 2011
By Mike
Format:DVD
Synopsis: The guys are at it again, as Stu (played by Ed Helms), Phil (Bradley Cooper), Alan (Zach Galifianakis), and Doug (Justin Bartha) go to Thailand to celebrate Stu's upcoming marriage to Lauren (Jamie Chung); who happens to be a far better person to him than his previous fiancee. Though he's hated by Lauren's father's (Nirut Sirijanya), Stu is adored by her brother Teddy (Mason Lee), so he includes him in their partying plans in Bangkok (much to Alan's chagrin.) Well, once again the boys party to hard, and once again they lose another member of the party (though it's not Doug this time, as he spends most of the movie hanging out at the resort being the boring married guy.) The difference is that Leslie Chow (Ken Jeong) is now responsible for some of the trouble the boys are involved in and a chain-smoking monkey has engaged them on their travels. The group goes through a bunch of ridiculous scenarios in an attempt to retrace their steps and to explain what occurred the night before and to find their missing comrade. Will they get back to the wedding unscathed and intact? Will Stu earn the respect of Lauren's father? Will Alan ever grow up or will he always be a man-child?
While the first Hangover was laugh-out-loud funny, this one wasn't nearly as humorous. However, the action sequences were far more intense than what you saw in the first film, so if you were watching this as you were any type of action movie, then it could have been very enjoyable. However, the ending of the film killed any redeeming factor that the movie leading up to it would have offered. When Stu told off his previous fiancee, it was one of the moments where everyone in the theater stood up and cheered him on. Now when he stands up to Lauren's father at the end, the nonsense that comes out of his mouth (and the father's subsequent reaction) is actually less believable than everything else that occurred leading up to it (and believe me, their misadventures in this film were certainly more ridiculous than the first film.) Part of a movie is wanting to see it again, not to kill 90 minutes of buildup with a weak climax during the last 10 minutes of the film. I think I read somewhere that Todd Richards is going to hold off on a Hangover 3 movie and frankly, that's probably a solid plan if they want to inject the franchise with some fresh ideas.
If you were a massive fan of the first film, you can check this out for continuity purposes. If you're expecting this to be above and beyond the first film, however, prepare to be disappointed.

Disturbing but funny as hell
This was funny, a little rehashing the same stuff, but funny still. But Chang and the strip club, was just wrong on too many levels to describe.
